SAN ANTONIO - A new iPhone case is packing more than just protection for your phone.

It doubles as a weapon.

It is called the Yellow Jacket -- a smartphone case that stings because it's a stun gun.

It can emit 600 watts of electricity.

Co-creator Sean Simone spent the last year perfecting the case.

It has already taken off on the internet.

"There are people that have rifles, shotguns, all sorts of stuff, people that don't carry anything.  But the bottom line is you always carry your phone," said Simone.

Simone said they're working on a stronger version for law enforcement...and he says he's in the process of creating a version for the iPhone 5 and android phones.

The Yellow Jacket costs around $100.

Wonderful. These phones are already being stolen right out the hands that holds it, now it will be worse because it MIGHT be a stun gun as well. Make sure you have your initials engraved on it so the police can identify the real owner when your phone is used to taze someone! Most everyone won't be fast enough to do anything about being robbed.
